Our D attends the Univ. of Tennessee. My H and I are both Maryland graduates and avid fans. D always said that she was going to Maryland. She couldn't imagine being anything else but a Terp. I made her visit other colleges because of the competiveness of being a flute music major. Tennessee was the first school we visited it and she fell in love with it. We followed the advise on CC and she did a lesson. She seemed to click with the Prof. at UT. So she is at UT, eight hours away, but her flute is being shipped back to Maryland. There are actually 3 different people that are qualified to work on her flute in the DC area now. Apparently at one time there were none. All three have worked on her flute. Her private teacher here prefers one but the Prof. at UT wanted her to use another one. So she went with what her Professor was telling her to do. All three have a good reputation. I guess it is just a matter of personal preference.

She is making arrangements to move to another room. She can't take her flute with her everywhere so she needs to be where she feels it is safe.

Her printer was destroyed and his parents had one overnighted to her today. She says it is much nicer than the one she had. They are quickly replacing anything that was destroyed or damaged. So at least that part so far has been easy. Because of the amount of damage he will face felony charges.

BassDad-thanks for the information. I have bookmarked the site in case we need it.

A fellow flute player that lives in Knoxville went home and picked up another flute of his for her to use. I think my D is emotionally drained at this point so I will try to talk about other things when we talk tonight. We will wait to hear from the flute repairman and go from there. I will let everyone know when we hear.
